Do you know about the Red Hat Society ? There were several local chapters who walked, danced and rode in the parade. If you have a pink hat, you are a “Red Hat Lady in Waiting”.

Here's Looking At You!
Only two more days and we are done with the parade…and then I can start on something really important…like “Under Construction”!
These cute little cars were in the parade, complete with eyeballs and eye lashes. I don’t want to give the appearance I’m a complete ninny…but I don’t now the name of this car. They had 5 wheels if you count the steering wheel, were convertibles, and had cute little headlight covers that went up and down…they were also low to the ground. Any guesses?

The weather was perfect, the crowds well behaved, and as they say, a good time was had by all. I used the pan feature on my camera and ended up with 700 plus shots….not all of which were worth saving. I will be sharing some of them with you this next week…but then I promise I will move on to something new.
